Non-MMS image taken - how to send?

How do you send images you've taken in normal setting not MMS type?
My images are over 300kb and are too large to osend via MMS.
My operator only allows up to 99KB per mms.
So if I want to send someone an mms, I have to open a new mms, then select take picture (from within the new mms) and then take the picture.
How to resize it to friendly sizes?
Ive tried the "Resize" but that doesnt really resize it much or enough.
Thanks

Have you tried sending it as an email attachement?

I dont want to email it.
I want the receiver to see it on thier mobile (hence MMS).

No, I mean send it as an email attachment from your phone to theirs, or do they not have the ability to read attachments?

hi,
You can choose the picture format in MMS account configuration. Pictures too large are resized

On my stock TYTN II, it asks if I want to resize the large image when I try to attach it in an mms. Problem is that it always put in the original image un-resized no matter what you try to resize it to.

try emailing it to their phones email addy. I know mine is something like
[email protected]

I thought an MMS would go to:
[email protected]
And a SMS would go to:
[email protected]

Could be, I wasn't stating the address as fact but giving him an idea of what it would be like.

Have you tried to tweak the mms sending and receiving size, to enable you to send/receive pics up to 1mb?
It requires you to do a reg edit.
HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS/Config/UI/SizeLimit
just change all 3 Recvlimit's and all 3 Sendlimit's to either
614400 (which is 600k). or you can do what I did, and put 1024000 (which is 1mb). Or .. you can put 1536000 (which is 1.5mb).
Exit and then soft reset device so the settings will keep. Once rebooted, go your mms configuration settings in your messaging options menu, and be sure to select whatever you've indicated in your reg settings, (600k, 1mb, or 1.5 mb).
Press ok, ok, and youre done. Now you should be able to send a mms message that more than 300k now. Hope this helps.

If you're limited to 99kb per MMS, then I would suggest lowering the resolution of your camera before taking the picture. While its not an ideal solution, it should work...

NotATreoFan -Ya I know I can reduce the size but I also want max quality pictures for PC show.
robosiris- I thought the limit was strictly administered by my service provider. Ill try it and see!
Thanks

I thought so too. But with this tweak, I can now send and recieve up to 1mg. You can set it higher but 1mg is good for me.
Also, If you're looking to send/receive pics over 1mb and alittle under 1.5mg, you can try setting it to 1228800 which gives me an option for 1200K, (1.2mb). With these tweaks, you won't (or very rarely) have to worry about changing images sizes.
Hope this helps

MMS - message format corrupt

i get this when trying tosend out mms of pics i took.. the pics are downsized.. so i dont understand whats wrong..
anyone plsss?

anyone can help?

I'm also now experiencing this problem. Seems to happen when you take a picture and use the on screen option to create an MMS message and send the picture immediately.
The message sends and a response comes back after a few seconds saying that the message format is corrupt... anyone got any ideas what may be causing this? I'm still stock ROM since Nov 4. 08.
Cheers,
DrSpain

since 09 no one has come up with an answer for this?

Having the same issue.

For the lost souls that find this thread I leave here the solution that fixed my problem (on HTC Desire). I also had the corrupt message being displayed each time sending an MMS. Nothing was resolving my issue. I tried a lot of stuff from deleting and adding APN settings manually to installing APN apps to create the settings for me.
What worked for me:
I created a second entry on the APN settings with the same data as the normal APN for MMS. So instead of having an APN for MMS I now have 2 (with different names). And it started to send and receive MMS. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I've also read somewhere that selecting a different network to lose the connection with the current one and going back again that would fix this issue. It didn't work for me though.

HTC Aria / Android MMS Fix
I recently experienced what I believe is your issue. "message format corrupt" I could send/receive SMS, could receive MMS, but could not send MMS. What I discovered is that there is an error (for lack of a better term) when you import your contacts into Android or Google Contacts where the device, (for MMS messages, but seems to work fine for phone calls) does not recognize telephone numbers with parentheses. In the contacts you have as (505) 555-1212 you'll need to edit to 505-555-1212. This will fix the issue. As a quick test, instead of selecting the contact you wish to MMS and manually enter the number; it should go through just fine.

Android MMS: How to send on Verizon (receiving still doesn't work)

I've figured out how to send MMS messages with Android on the Verizon network. Here's how:
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
Please let me know if this works for you. Keep in mind that you must have a data connection open in order to send MMS.
As far as receiving messages, when a picture message comes in it properly receives the SMS, but it isn't recognized as an MMS message. It does however recognize that it's not a standard SMS so it doesn't go to your message inbox.

SENDING WORKS (for Verizon)

Telus
I've found some similar settings for Telus, but can't seem to make it work. If anyone wants to give it a shot, I've used the information here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392284
So far, the message just sits there trying to send. The settings I'm currently using are:
MMSC: http://mmsfeplb01.int.eng.telusmobility.com/mms
MMS proxy: http://216.198.139.113
MMS port: 8088
pchaso, how long does it take you to send an MMS? I'm just curious how long I should wait before I deem a message failed, because it never seems to error out, just sits there.

Will try this soon pchaso

It takes seconds.

K, so I'm guessing I need something similar to the "?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>" portion of the verizon settings. Where'd you find this info? It sucks to be so close and yet so far...

When you configure Arcsoft MMS for Verizon, you have to add a registry entry so that Arcsoft knows to send this field. This entry will cause arcsoft to post this value as part of the HTTP request to the mms servlet. I just took a stab in the dark by putting the value in the querystring. I actually didn't expect it to work...

Nice work! I'll have to try and get Telus MMS working in WinMo this weekend some time... I really don't feel like booting up WM right now though. I will be sure to post any success I have here.

Cool just sent a pic to my email and it worked

Kinda just thinking outloud but do you think that we would need a Verizon APN with Verizon specific settings to begin to recieve mms? or does it have to do with dzo's hacked sms settings?...

I think it has something to do with the CDMA SMS format being different to that of GSM. I wish I had time to do some hacking on this myself...

Now that the droid is out, is there any update on receive settings?

Anything new on android verizon mms? Tried the instructions in the first post but it didn't work for me.

Bump... add me to the list of people who want to receive!
Thanks all who help dev this stuff, Android has consumed countless hrs of my time : )

bumpity bump bump

I would really like some development in this area. It seems some settings/apn's could be pulled from the vzw droid. Bluetooth is now working, along with accurate gps. This is the only thing left to be fixed for donut to be completely functional for our vogues.

Nothing new? Sending still works...let's receive! LOL

Need help from you guys then (I don't have Verizon).
1. Make sure MMS sending really does work (send it to someone and ask them if they got it).
2. Get ADB (the command prompt tool) working on Windows (search the forum, there's clear instructions -- its easy)
3. Plug your phone into your computer so you can connect with ADB.
4. Open a command prompt and navigate to where ADB is.
5. Type 'adb shell logcat -b radio > radiolog.txt' (no ')
6. Send a SMS to yourself. Then send an MMS to yourself.
7. Wait a little bit to make sure the MMS notification message is "received". 2-3 minutes should be good.
8. Terminate the adb logging and send me the log at jnadke [email protected]_ gmail dot com (spam proofed)
A MMS is just an SMS (text message) with instructions to go download data. When you send MMS, the Mms.apk application uses POST command. Receive just uses the GET command. However, this isn't being triggered because I don't think we're correctly interpreting the SMS message that tells us there's an MMS waiting.
I'm making an assumption that we're receiving the MMS notification, and that its reception generates an AT command. It may not, I haven't looked at the SMS RIL code. It's possible I might need to give you a RIL that logs the raw SMS data, so I can compare a SMS message and a SMS-MMS notification message (to see if there's a flag somewhere).
The code is already there in Mms.apk to receive, we're just not telling it to...

any word on camcorder/mms sending?

Title says it all

+1 to that.

I know how to send mms but not recieve.
For Verizon do this to be able to send mms
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
I was thinking i should modify the username to [email protected] and password to vzw like windows mobile but i am afraid to try it because i dont know what the current password is to change it back if it dont work for recieving

Sending works, Receiving does not yet. The link in the prior post has instructions on settings to get sending pic messages working.

Well I have a sprint touch and I can receive. Not sure why everyone says they can't, but I followed the thread and the only sprint version I saw was for the thouch pro 3 so I tried that and it sends but it doesn't make it to the person I'm sending to, tried sending to my email and phone.

You can receive? But can't send? Sounds strange. Make sure your entering your phone number in the MMSC field as 1234567890 not <1234567890> thats what I was doing wrong initially. Can you post a link to the tp2 thread you are reffering to...I've seen a few but none mentoined any setting besides the ones already listed in this thread.

It was just on the 3rd Or 4th page I think. : http:// Developement" section: http:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=627388. Yeah I was always able to receive mms, ever since I started using android back in January. But I put in those settings for touch pro 2 found on that site cause it was sprint qnd I was finally able to send it but it wouldn't make it to the person I was sending to.

When you "receive", is it the actual image or a web link to it? Everyone gets the web link - that just means Sprint thinks your phone isn't MMS-capable on the server side so they text you a link instead. You're not "receiving MMS" unless you get the image straight to your phone.

You can just edit the T-mobile apn. Keep in mind once you edit it and save it the apn deletes itself. Then all your left with is the telkila apn. Everything will continue to work as it did before.

It's not strange, sprint doesn't send MMS to the phone through the old fashion way, they send a link to your phone and you follow that to a webpage containing your image
